I use Tweetadder for this purpose. Store as many tweets I want and tweet them when I want. Retweet whatever accounts I like however often I like. Automatically follow, unfollow and much more. Results are awesome and there are no monthly fees like in other apps..

This piece was written by Geoff Livingston. In today's online world social scoring systems like the new Klout matter, unfortunately. For example, some jobs are tied to scores now
What's The real truth? When real researchers parse influence: they found true influence comes from those who are closest to us in our on and offline social networks, our peers".
As the old adage goes, "You are who you hang out with".
**Peer pressure influences us more than a person with a high Klout score. It's when peers start discussing an idean en masse that they feel safe in discussion that often leads to action.
What about the influencer, the big time blogger you ask?
**they may be communication channel for ideas, and their take on those ideas can sway loyalisst fans who serve as peers.
**Generally, their writings serve as a credibility point for readers, just like Consumer Reports and nothing more
**True meaningful interactions beyond social platitudes don't scale after a certain point.
**Dunbar's theory which states that an individual can only sustain stable social relationships with a community of approximately 150 people.
**Applied, it’s not that a person can’t have more friends than 150, but the more relationships someone maintains they become increasingly superficial.
We choose to be Influenced
**By choosing our friends, we're also choosing to be influenced by their ideas, beliefs and behavior systems. Often their ideals are close to or similar to ours before we spend time together

Social Influencer Sites: How Relevant Are They?

My 2 cents: They matter if you're in social media or marketing, but obsessing about your score is pointless. Focus instead on your social media activity and ENGAGEMENT and score will follow.

Brands are often trying to find someone who has a high social ranking to pass on the brands message. However if there message is given to a person with a high social ranking but has no connection to the brand then there is little point in using them, in fact a brand could get into trouble by doing this and completely miss their target market. For example Justin Beiber has a very high social status with thousand of followers on social media sites such as twitter however I doubt he would be used to advertise Mercedes. It is important to have a market maven who is relevant to your brand, like when ford gave free cars away to those most influential in the auto industry. People are more likely to spend time with people with similar interests and outlooks to them. Happy people are more likely to spend time with other happy people, same as unhappy people surround themselves with unhappy people. This makes it crucial for brands to research who they are using to connect with. Companies may give a message to be passed on, which is then read in a completely different context when said by someone else and therefore wasting resources on people who wont deliver a successful outcome.

Search engine optimization has not been dependent on a minimal number of factors for a long time now, such as number of times a keyword appeared on a page, and it continues to become a more complex web of on and off-page factors every month. One of the more recent factors that has had an impact on search ranking is social media.
This infographic breaks down ways that social media influences the visibility of your website in search results, including:
Social media can help search engines find and index your content faster Likes, shares, retweets, etc. indicates to search engine that content is new and interesting, often leading to a temporary increase in rankingsYour content will increase in search results for people connected to youIncreases domain authority and the number of inbound links to your website Via Lauren Moss, roberto toppi

Venkatesh - if I am able I give my site as much media support as I can. As a social media trainer I need to 'try out' media before I can teach others to use it and give an insight into which is useful and which is not. So I tend to put my site and what I am doing out on the various social media platforms at least twice a day - I don't over emphasise my site because that can be counter productive (people switch off if all they see from you is self-promotion) and so it is keeping your presence alive but not switching off potential clients by constant ME, ME, ME. I perform both SEO services and social media training for others (see - just a bit of self promotion LOL)

This infographic is a great way to depict many of the articles I've previously pointed out that cover SEO and social media. It is almost easier to explain the relationship in an image format, especially for those who don't have a background in SEO.
There are many other factors that go into how much social media truly affects SEO, so there is more to be explained after this. But this is a great introductory image. It also emphasizes the speed with which social media makes an impact.

This piece and report was done by Brian Solis . Brian has done an outstanding job of helping us to understand the rocky road of social media/business and this is no exception. Happy anniversary Brian! It's unbelievable it's already a year that you've been Principal Analyst of Altimeter Group, great job.
Those of us who are involved with social networks are already aware of Klout, Kred, PeerIndex and many others that are yet to come down the pike. Some people don't pay attention, others wish these services would be more transparent about how they measure our standing in the social community. No matter where you stand on this issue, it's not going away but becoming more important than ever. In this piece, Brian gives us some valuable insights and takeaways (slideshare) that is very important for your business now and in the future.
Here's what caught my attention:
Whether we know it or not, our social activity now contributes to our stature within each network.
**New services such as Klout, PeerIndex among many others not only measure who you know, what you say, and what you do, they attempt to score or rank your ability to influence those to whom you’re connected.
**As a result, social network users are now starting to rethink how they connect and communicate to improve their stature within each network.
**At the same time, brands are starting to take notice of those services also help organizations identify individuals who are both connected and relevant to help expand reach into new media and markets.

The Personalized Power of Google+ Plus Ones
good effects on plusses.
* recommended posts on the streams
* recommended posts are shown to your circles, but can also be shown to your extended circles
* CTA to add the person to your circle
* last but not least, the posts plussed by your circels will score better in your google search result
=> more than ever, googleplus tries to put people that don't know each other in contact and that's what I love with them compared to Facebook, the simple notion of circle instead of friend : you "connect" instead of "friend"
